I am 100% sure that it is a classical problem of inaccessibility of
elements of e() matrix.
Together with quotes, macros and gettoken/parse this is the most
common obstacle.
Stata does not understand:
matrix B=e(V)[2,3]
Stata does understand:
matrix A=e(V)
matrix B=A[2,3]
I.e. you need a temporary matrix. Think of e() as a function, and
functions do not have indices, even if the results they return are
matrices.
